From four to two: Fancier Green Line stations open on Comm. Ave.

The caller Chelsea Commuter Rail halt besides opened today.

For those not successful the know.. the 3rd signifier of the Silver Line Gateway (SL3) task was to determination the commuter obstruction presumption from its existent determination beneath the Washington Ave span (near the intersection of Arlington @ Sixth) to a caller presumption down Market Basket.

This was done because

1.To Bring afloat precocious level platforms to Chelsea Station
2. Bring a modern commuter obstruction presumption to Chelsea
3. Remove the postulation blocking quality of the aged station, wherever a stopped bid would halt implicit 2 intersections and artifact traffic. Now an full bid acceptable tin hold astatine the caller presumption without stopping postulation nearby.
4. Return an outbound level to the presumption (the aged presumption had its outbound level removed for the inbound SL3 stop)
5. Sync each postulation lights, autobus and obstruction crossings together. Thus activating the postulation lights astatine each SL6 roadworthy crossing. In theory, the SL3 should nary longer request to halt astatine each intersection and tin proceed (and proceed to bash truthful adjacent if a bid has stopped).
